Liaquat Ahamed, a professional investment manager for 25 years who has also worked for the World Bank and now an adviser to several hedge fund groups in the US, has come with his own diagnosis of what happened to the West after World War I, of bubbles followed by busts and a cascading series of events that led to the Great Depression, in Lords of Finance: The Bankers who Broke the World (William Heinemann, Special Indian price, Rs 1,185).http://business-standard.com/common/storypage_c.php?leftnm=10&autono=377142Fri, 20 Nov 2009 19:16:27 GMThttp://business-standard.com/common/storypage_c.php?leftnm=10&autono=377142http://feedproxy.google.com/~r/Business-Standard-Life-Leisure-All/~3/R5yIASk5Gxw/storypage_c.phpScale has always fascinated Paresh Maity, but now hes experimenting with newer genres in paintings and sculpture.http://business-standard.com/common/storypage_c.php?leftnm=10&autono=377099Fri, 20 Nov 2009 19:11:38 GMThttp://business-standard.com/common/storypage_c.php?leftnm=10&autono=377099http://feedproxy.google.com/~r/Business-Standard-Life-Leisure-All/~3/4fhD66KYB68/storypage_c.phpIm considering buying a hatchback for local commutes for my children. My requirement is for a car that is easy to drive, fuel efficient, low on maintenance and has a refined engine. I am considering the Maruti Suzuki Alto, the Hyundai i10, Hyundai Santro, Maruti Suzuki A-star and Chevrolet Spark. The Alto has good manoeuvrability but seems to be outdated. My budget is Rs 3-3.50 lakh.http://business-standard.com/common/storypage_c.php?leftnm=10&autono=377092Fri, 20 Nov 2009 19:10:00 GMThttp://business-standard.com/common/storypage_c.php?leftnm=10&autono=377092http://feedproxy.google.com/~r/Business-Standard-Life-Leisure-All/~3/sXnE_hjyRbw/storypage_c.phpCould there be a better start to a week? Gladly took a very early morning flight to Chennai on Monday and headed straight to the Sriperumbudur track. The occasion? The Lamborghini track day! The Italians from SantAgata decided to run a driving experience programme in India for prospective buyers and, ahem, select media. Cars? Lamborghini Gallardo LP560-4s two coupes and a spyder (convertible) all shod with Pirelli P Zero Corsa racing tyres. Sure enough, there were test drivers who controlled the proceedings while the braking markers were meant for drama-free apex-hunting. But none of that took anything off from the magic of driving Lamborghinis flat-out. The sound, that glorious engine note alone, is reason enough to drive one of these monsters. By the end of the day I was pushing the 560 horsepower mid-engined monsters in the sport-auto mode, which allowed me to concentrate on where I was going rather than wrestle with the car.http://business-standard.com/common/storypage_c.php?leftnm=10&autono=377091Fri, 20 Nov 2009 19:08:43 GMThttp://business-standard.com/common/storypage_c.php?leftnm=10&autono=377091http://feedproxy.google.com/~r/Business-Standard-Life-Leisure-All/~3/orIjz2cF-G0/storypage_c.phpI always suspected that the city was a falsification. But it was only on a foggy afternoon in early spring, when the air smells of atarch, that I discovered the nature of the fraud.

So he and others of his generation were better placed than we are to think laterally, to explore all of history for models towards which to incline the path of our future. He also spent years in prison, an enforced separation from the bustle and fire of the freedom movement which enabled him to look beyond the constrained present to the past and future, all in the service of his country. In other words, he used his time in prison to think big for India.http://business-standard.com/common/storypage_c.php?leftnm=10&autono=377085Fri, 20 Nov 2009 19:04:52 GMThttp://business-standard.com/common/storypage_c.php?leftnm=10&autono=377085http://feedproxy.google.com/~r/Business-Standard-Life-Leisure-All/~3/geGUolL-Ni4/storypage_c.phpPartition in Bengal, despair in Delhi and power games in Tudor England: three new books to read.http://business-standard.com/common/storypage_c.php?leftnm=10&autono=377100Fri, 20 Nov 2009 19:00:11 GMThttp://business-standard.com/common/storypage_c.php?leftnm=10&autono=377100http://feedproxy.google.com/~r/Business-Standard-Life-Leisure-All/~3/rWPhu50siXE/storypage_c.phpIn the beginning was the Word. Then the species became needlessly talkative and new words had to be invented and added to the lexicon. This went on happening for thousands of years until one day it seemed that the process was set to reverse itself, with Internet chat-sites and SMS jargon encouraging the abbreviation of existing words into near-unrecognisable forms (gr8 2 c u!). Surely dictionaries will become pass now, we thought.http://business-standard.com/common/storypage_c.php?leftnm=10&autono=377089Fri, 20 Nov 2009 18:57:09 GMThttp://business-standard.com/common/storypage_c.php?leftnm=10&autono=377089
